QIPCO British Champions Day at Ascot Racecourse marks the thrilling finale of the flat horse racing season, and it is a day filled with unrivalled excitement, tradition, and sporting excellence. As you enter through the Ascot Racecourse gates, you’re stepping into a world where grandeur and passion for horse racing converge to create the ultimate British race day. The proud Union Jack and QIPCO signage welcome guests at the grandstand, alongside an impressive, larger-than-life display of four-time Champion Jockey Oisin Murphy. These elements set the tone for a day at one of the world’s most prestigious racecourses.
The Pavilion
Across the lawns, there will be a host of activities to capture your attention, yet very little will rival the elegance of the Pavilion Restaurant. Adorned with Ascot’s iconic golden lettering and crowned insignia, the Pavilion stands as a testament to the sophistication and opulence synonymous with Ascot Racecourse. This exquisite venue is the ideal sanctuary for racegoers looking to elevate their experience at QIPCO British Champions Day.
Once inside the Pavilion, you’ll be escorted to your beautifully set table, complete with a complimentary racing post and race card to ensure you’re well-prepared for the day’s horse racing events. A glass of champagne, part of the exclusive Champagne Reception, adds to the sense of occasion as you settle in for a day of British racing excellence.
The Pavilion’s hospitality is as impressive as the horse racing itself, with a gourmet three-course luncheon that begins promptly. As you savour each course, horse racing ambassador Matt Chapman provides expert insights, sharing his racing tips and predictions for the day’s races. This year, Chapman correctly predicted five out of six winners, making his guidance as valuable as it is engaging. With betting facilities conveniently located within the Pavilion, you’re just a few steps away from putting Chapman’s tips to the test.
Throughout the day, a complimentary bar ensures that refreshments are always within reach. From beers and wines to soft drinks, the Pavilion’s hospitality team is always ready to keep you refreshed and energised as you cheer on your favourite jockeys and horses.
When it’s time to witness the high-stakes races, the Pavilion offers direct access to the grandstand, where guests can experience the electrifying atmosphere of Ascot Racecourse first-hand. As the culmination of the flat racing season, QIPCO British Champions Day draws over 30,000 spectators, all eager to witness world-class performances on the track.
This year, the autumnal sunshine cast a golden glow over Ascot’s picturesque landscape, providing a stunning backdrop for the day’s main horse racing events.
Champion Jockey Oisin Murphy arrived at British Champions Day with his eye on securing the Champion Jockey title for a fourth time. His dedication to horse racing has made him the poster icon of this year’s QIPCO British Champions Day. On the lawns, Murphy hosted an exclusive masterclass just outside the Pavilion, inspiring aspiring jockeys and sharing his love for the sport in an intimate, interactive setting.
When you’re ready for a break, the Pavilion offers a quintessentially British Afternoon Tea service, featuring an assortment of delicate mini sandwiches, decadent cakes, and a selection of fine teas and coffees. It’s the perfect opportunity to unwind and enjoy a taste of Ascot’s famed hospitality.
Adding to the day’s excitement, the Pavilion hosts a silent auction, where attendees can bid on extraordinary memorabilia and experiences. Highlights this year included a rugby jersey signed by legendary Springbok Bryan Habana, Spider-Man memorabilia signed by Andrew Garfield, and an exclusive five-star safari experience in South Africa. The auction is just one of the many unique touches that make QIPCO British Champions Day at Ascot Racecourse unforgettable.
As the sun sets on a spectacular day of horse racing, the Pavilion transforms into a lively hub for post-race celebrations.
